SCOTT SINCLAIR is counting down the seconds to the biggest game of his life for Swansea tonight.

Scott Sinclair has scored 24 goals in his first season for the club following a £1 million move from Chelsea last August. And he cannot wait for the Championship play-off semi-final, first leg at Nottingham Forest.

“It would mean everything to get back to the Premier League, so this is without doubt the biggest game of my career,” said the England Under-21 winger.

“I want to prove to everyone I am a Premier League player. I am confident in my own ability and I’m sure I will be playing in the Premier League again.”

Swansea suffered a 3-1 defeat on their previous visit to Forest in late September. But boss Brendan Rodgers has warned his Forest counterpart Billy Davies to expect the ‘real’ Swansea to turn up tonight.

“We didn’t play well at all that day, although we had a lot of the ball,” said Rodgers. “ But we’re a better side than what we were back then . W e know we can hurt any team and we’ve performed nine times out of 10 in the big games.” Forest’s Luke Chambers insists they can banish the memories of recent play-off failures.

Forest have lost in all three of their play-off semi-finals including to Blackpool last season.

Chambers said: “Maybe that disappointment of last year can hopefully take us over the line and get us to where we want to be.
